Why we like the fund
This fund is managed by an experienced PM, Nick Williams, who is a seasoned small and mid-cap investor with a deep knowledge of the universe. He is capably supported three further portfolio managers; Colin Riddles, Rosemary Simmons and William Cuss who provide further idea generation and challenge to Nick. The team seek to own higher quality companies with above average profitability (primarily determined by Return on Equity) and defensive, low variability business models that are trading at valuations at or below the market (based on Free Cash Flow Yield primarily). The team ensure reasonable diversification across individual names and also across sectors. The strategy’s advantage comes from the strong bottom up stock selection of the team, Nick William’s experience in building a robust portfolio and ensuring risk remains carefully managed.
How to use this fund
This fund is best blended with a larger cap biased manager.
